- — Description[src]
The Potions Classroom was one of the large dungeons[1] in Hogwarts Castle, used for Potions lessons. It is large enough to allow at least twenty students to work and its walls are lined with pickled animals in glass jars.[2] In one corner of the room stands a basin into which ice-cold water pours from a gargoyle's mouth, while in another is a student supply cupboard. There is also a blackboard on which the Potions master can write the class's instructions.[3] The room is especially cold, particularly in the winter when students are able to see their own breath.
Behind the scenes
- For the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, scenes in this room were filmed in the Sacristy at Lacock Abbey (in Lacock, Wiltshire, England). The high windows were partially obscured while filming, to suggest an underground location (which the Sacristy is not). For Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Potions classroom was filmed in a set, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, that had been formerly used as the room in which Fluffy guarded the trapdoor to the Underground Chambers (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and Severus Snape's office (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).
